La Michoacana Ice cream Shop — Restaurant in Dundalk

This place is so racist. I’m black and I’ve never blatantly had a racist experience. I’m from Chicago, so I’m excited to try any place that has Mexican street corn. I just moved a few minutes away. So I took a walk and I sat in there waiting just to order corn. They told me to leave the register and grab a number. Once I had a number nobody they still wouldn’t take my order. I returned to the register and asked if anybody could take my order. They all left the counter and ignored me. I had to repeat can someone take my order please? Everyone in the restaurant heard me, someone even asked off I took a number already. I said yes. I watched them take a whole crowd’s order before mine. The only other black person that was there left before me without being served as well.

I DON’T MIND WAITING or taking a number. I had already taken a number. Nobody helped me, nobody spoke to me, nobody explained anything they kept brushing me off. It was not welcoming. When no one was at the counter or the register… I begged to be assisted and everyone ignored me and looked annoyed. The whole place was watching… even a customer asked if I had taken a number. And as I said before another black girl was there… I don’t even know her and she left before me because you guys REFUSED to acknowledge us or help us. Take accountability. I didn’t insult anyone until right before I left. Because when someone finally came to the counter and the lady asked “WHAT DO YOU WANT” and I said elote she looked at me confused as if it wasn’t on the menu or she didn’t understand me. It felt very racist. You can read all of my Google reviews I won’t lie and say you’re racist if I didn’t feel that way. It felt like you guys didn’t want to serve us because...

When I heard La Michoacana was serving the Dubai chocolate strawberries there was no hesitation that I had to give them a try. La Michoacana is a brightly colored shop sitting in what looks to be a downtown Dundalk area, that could definitely use some more excitement. Which La Michoacana brings to the little strip mall.

La Michoacana has a deli counter set up, where you grab a ticket and wait to be called to place your order. While you wait you can browse the countless number of Mexican specialty popsicles they offer, which all sound amazing, as well as the various ice cream flavors they have. They also have some savory items on their menu so you can have a little snack before ending your visit with a sweet treat.

Of course, I ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries which were quite tasty. Served warm, this dessert is covered in a copious amount of chocolate, pistachio cream, chopped pistachios, and crispy kataifi. It would be nice if they made the strawberries behind the counter, for a more thrilling display, but they put it together in the back of their establishment. It's still pretty amazing to look at the dessert as they walk it over to you.

Next time I'm in the area, I definitely plan on stopping in to try some of their popsicles. La Michoacana seems like it's a good staple for the Dundalk area and will be a refreshing treat for the dog...

this was my first time here after a while and let me tell you. I came in here very excited to try the new Dubai chocolate covered strawberries and first thing I see is how full the establishment is. Even with so much going around the poor girls were doing the best they could to be attentive to everyone who ordered. this young girl took my order and was very polite and kind, helped me understand the difference between a crazy chip and a corn one! i went home with a big smile as i loved the Dubai, it was delicious! my husband and I will make sure to visit more often. its amazing to see that even when things get overwhelming those girls manage to keep it up and not back down love that for them. kuddos to the owner for this wonderful place and the wonderful people...
